Henderson, a third-round selection from North Carolina, spent 12 seasons in Green Bay (1995-2006) and appeared in 188 games with 112 starts. His 188 career games rank fifth in team history behind Brett Favre, Donald Driver, Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke. A bruising blocker, Henderson helped pave the way for seven 1,000-yard rushers, and also contributed with 320 receptions, the second most all-time among Packers running backs. A member of the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI and XXXII teams, he earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2004, and was enshrined in the Packers Hall of Fame in 2011.

Levens, a fifth-round pick in 1994 out of Georgia Tech, played eight seasons (1994-2001) in a Packers uniform, with 53 starts among 102 games played. The sixth all-time leading rusher in team history, he ran for 3,937 yards on 1,006 carries, with 28 touchdowns. A gifted receiver as well, Levens caught 271 passes for 2,079 yards and 16 TDs; only two other backs in Packers annals – Ahman Green (350) and Henderson (320) – had more career receptions. A Pro Bowl selection in 1997, he was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2009.

Both former Packers players will be introduced on Lambeau Field during pregame festivities.
